Lloyd – Tears Of A Clown lyrics

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there tryina fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you, now honey that's quiet a different
Subject

But don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad oohh I'm sadder than sad
You gone and I'm hurting so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad

Now there's some sad things known to man
But aint too much sadder than
The tears of a clown
When there's no-one around mmm
Oh yeah baby

Now if I appear to be care free
It's only to camoflauge my sadness
When I need to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you decided to go
Oh I need you so
I'm hurting and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show

There's some sad things known to man
But aint too much sadder than
The tears of a clown
When there's no-one else around
Oh yeah baby

Just like Paliache did, I try to keep my surface in
Smilin' in the public eye
But in the lonely room I cry the tears of a clown
When there's no-one around
Oh yeah baby

Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
Really I'm sad, I'm hurting so bad
